German Politician Calls For Shooting Migrants At The Border If They Try To Force Entry Illegally

There’s an old adage that goes something like this “for every extreme action, there’s an equal and extreme reaction” and what Germany is witnessing are the fruits of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s insane open border policy and the equally insane response from the leader of a right-wing party which has come under fire for suggesting refugees who try to cross the border illegally should be shot.

Frauke Petry, 40, principal speaker for Alternative für Deutschland – Alternative for Germany – said in an interview that a police officer must ‘make use of his firearm’ to stop illegal border crossings.

Ms. Petry a member of the AFD’s right-wing faction has seen the support for her party increase in recent months as public opinion has changed on Germany’s migration policy.

Meanwhile, neighboring Austria has announced that it will step up deportations of migrants and is adding Morocco, Algeria and other states to a list of countries it deems safe, enabling it to send people back there more quickly.
